   While you're being told to recycle more & use paper straws to save the #planet the world’s richest 0.01% are wrecking it not only through their lavish lifestyles but also their ownership-based #emissions.

   A new Greenpeace Africa report found that the world’s richest 0.01% are associated with about US$992 billion worth of climate damage in 2022 alone through ownership-based emissions. These are emissions linked to the companies, investments and assets wealthy people own and profit from.
